Chapter 166 - Seed of Providence?
Pa!
After the Eagle Man killed the blood-red Alpha Wolf with the arrow, the Golden Condor turned into a streak of golden light, charging at the Dragon Tooth Battalion that couldn’t hold much longer. When it flapped its golden wings, it left deep cuts in the hard mountain rocks.
Hum!
The Eagle Man on the Golden Condor drew its bow, and a golden arrow flew toward Ruan Xiaoer.
Pa!
Ruan Xiaoer had almost exhausted both his inner and physical strength.
When he saw the incoming arrow, he raised the Tiger Shark Saber to block it.
Hum!
But when the golden arrow collided with the saber, it gave off a blinding golden light.
Not only did it shake the saber out of his hands, but it also temporarily dazzled him, and he couldn’t see a thing.
Hum!
Immediately after that, the shadow of the giant Golden Condor was upon him.
With the worn-out and blinded Ruan Xiaoer, the Dragon Tooth Battalion wasn’t able to withstand the powerful combination of the Eagle Man and the condor.
The Eagle Man on the Golden Condor had drawn its bow again, and an arrow of light was taking its shape.
Hum!
However, at that moment, the Mirage Dragon Tooth on all the Dragon Tooth Guards began to tremble.
Immediately, they turned into a streak of white light, bringing all of them back to the settlement core of the Eagle Men.
Didn’t the Dragon Tooth work in water only?
Because there was something on the ground in the Eagle Men’s settlement nest.
A semi-transparent blue stone was giving off a strange energy, making the air surrounding it ripple like water.
“It’s the Sea Stone!”
It was the Rare resource the humans obtained from the Mirage Monsters’ settlement, and it could turn its surrounding area into seawater.
With the Void Ring, it would be very easy for Ji Ye to bring this object that was on the Snapping Dragon Turtle Boat here.
“Shoo!”
A golden light flashed, and the Golden Condor appeared in the sky outside the settlement core together with the Eagle Man archer.
Hum!
Without hesitation, the Eagle Man drew its bow, and a blazing, shiny arrow came at Ji Ye.
Whoosh!
Ji Ye didn’t move at all. The Black Serpent Sword flew up on its own and blocked the arrow.
Ji Ye had learned how to control the sword from Yan Chixia, and he had been practicing ever since. After the surrounding area was changed into a sea, he was able to exert all his power!
Pa!
The arrow collided with the Black Serpent Sword, and the resplendent light lit up the entire nest.
But it still couldn’t breach the defense of the sword and soon dissipated in the air.
Hum!
After that strike, the Eagle Man realized that it couldn’t kill Ji Ye with the light arrow alone.
Another arrow took its shape in its hands and was pointed at an exhausted Dragon Tooth Guard who was too weak to stand up.
Shoo!
But the Eagle Man bellowed after it unleashed the arrow.
Because the “sea” fluctuated under Ji Ye’s control, and a young Eagle Man was thrown in front of the soldier as a shield, blocking the arrow.
Pew!
A small dot of golden light appeared on its forehead.
The light gradually faded, leaving behind a bloody hole as thick as a finger.
Shoo!
The Eagle Man seemed enraged. It then directed the Golden Condor to fly to the cave entrance of the settlement core.
When riding a Golden Condor in the air, even an Eagle Man couldn’t ensure the accuracy of an arrow.
But once it landed, it could make sure that every single arrow would kill a cruel “two-eyed flat-mouthed man”!
“That’s very bold of you… You weren’t around before, were you…”
The Golden Condor landed with an imposing posture; its flapping wings scraping off a lot of rocks of the narrow space outside the nest.
Ji Ye only shook his head.
“Roar!”
The next second, his demeanor changed, and the image of a ferocious black Flood Dragon appeared in mid-air.
The combat with the head of the Eagle Men ended fairly quickly.
Although Ji Ye had burned off some Flood Dragon Blood, he still had plenty of it left.
With the help of the battlefield formed by the Sea Stone, he controlled the “current”, sweeping the Eagle Man and the condor into the nest.
Roar!
The Soul Alpha Wolf materialized again and roared in silence. Its limbs suddenly turned from wolf paws to Flood Dragon ones that were covered with black scales.
After that, there wasn’t much to say. One had to admit that this Eagle Man was almost as capable as a hero in combat.
And its golden bow could even change into a saber or spear in close combat.
Given that the Extraordinary Rank-7 Eagle Man leader had been killed when he stepped into this “sea”, this Eagle Man couldn’t be as powerful as its head, even with an Extraordinary mount.
“Kill Eagle Man (Extraordinary Rank-5 Commander), Honor obtained: 100, Rare Honor obtained: 19!”
Because the Race Mission had ended, Ji Ye received the notification as soon as the Eagle Man was killed. An Extraordinary Rank-5 Stone of Civilization even took shape in his hand.
Yes, it wasn’t a Soul of Civilization but a Stone of Civilization.
Apparently, this Commander Eagle Man wasn’t a native but an Eagle Man player!
“There’s so much Rare Honor!”
This was the first Commander-level alien race player that Ji Ye had run into.
What intrigued him more was that after killing this Eagle Man player, he had obtained more Rare Honor than when he killed the head of the Eagle Men.
Together with what he had earned before, his Rare Honor had just reached three digits.
“I see. This has to be a beta tester in the Eagle Men’s settlement.
“Just like the owner of the Three Thousand Restaurant mentioned in the City of Humans before, he or she may even be a seed of providence chosen by some Eagle Men civilization, which is why it’s so rewarding to kill this one.”
Ji Ye made his guess.
“Kills Golden Condor King (Extraordinary Rank-4, Commander), EXP gained: 402, Honor gained: 3!”
This Golden Condor really was the type that Ji Ye had killed earlier by chance during the condor-snake battle. Even the spoils dropped were quite similar.
“Receive ‘Golden Condor’s Boon Gene Enhancing Fluid’ (Extraordinary Rank-4, Superior)!”
Of course, as an Extraordinary Golden Condor King, the objects it dropped were of the Extraordinary level as well, and the gene aspect was involved.
“Attack!”
After the beta tester player and the Quasi-Commander Golden Condor King were killed—
The last hope of the Eagle Men was destroyed by humans.
Moreover, shoutings were approaching from behind the Eagle Men.
Splash!
Rain poured down, extinguishing the last magma trap of the Eagle Men.
Boom!
After that, a giant red wood shield flew up, flattening the trench the Eagle Men set up in front of the settlement.
“Awoo!”
After that, a wolf howled, and a human general clad in black armor riding a Steelback Blue Wolf with glinting eyes came into sight while leading his team.
Another human general holding twin blades that were tinted red with blood hacked the obstacle held up by several Eagle Men into halves, together with an Eagle Man behind it.
By then, there was no more question of how it would end.
“Attack!”
The humans didn’t try to convince the Eagle Men to surrender, because that race would never do that.
To avoid the Eagle Men from escaping, Ji Ye even exposed the remaining young Eagle Men in the settlement core and used them as bait to lure the rest of their kin.
That was doubtlessly a dishonorable move.
But it was better than having the Eagle Men escape, hide, and ambush humans for revenge!
Bam!
Finally, before nightfall—
The last Eagle Man was killed by a sniper rifle.
All the settlements of the ten races now belonged to the humans!
